Eating the 430€ Menu at the WORLD’S NO. 1 RESTAURANT (2022) - Geranium

#finedining #geranium #michelinstar

My name is Alexander. I’m the co-owner of a ONE Michelin star restaurant, and I’m on a mission - to find inspiration in gastronomy.
I love fine dining, good wine and sharing what I know with other people.

----------------------------------------------------------------

Geranium is located in Copenhagen, but not where you might expect a 3-Michelin star restaurant to be. It’s not on the high street, it’s not in a trendy neighbourhood, nor a 5 star hotel. It’s actually in a football stadium!

The genius in the kitchen is head chef Rasmus Kofoed. His name is now undoubtedly synonymous with Scandinavian top gastronomy. The 48-year-old Danish chef is the first and only chef in the world to have stood on the podium of the world's most prestigious cooking competition three times, winning the iconic Bocuse d'Or statuette in bronze (2005), silver (2007) and gold (2011).

The three statues still have a prominent place in the world's best restaurant, Geranium. With 3 Michelin stars, Rasmus Kofoed's restaurant not only entered the gastronomic elite in 2016, but it was also named the world's very best restaurant on the list of The World's 50 Best Restaurants last year.

I have visited the best restaurant in the world. The lesson I learnt? Join me to find out!

Thank You all for the positive feedbacks! 🙏

I can’t believe this level of professional video production came from a channel this small! this is amazing and this channel will be huge one day

[frog]

I appreciate you saying it as it is. No filter, if stuff does something sloppy or the dish doesnt fit the course, its only fair to give the constructive criticism and give them the chance to fix the issues they might not be aware of. PROPS!

Can’t wait to see this channel grow! Definitely found a new niche in the culinary review industry. High quality, professionally reviewed, honest, narrated rather than in person. This adds a new level to the food review category on YouTube . With most reviews being in person and during the meal it’s amazing to let the experience happen and have the review after to truly showcase the experience. Felt like I was there! I will continue to be a fan if the videos stay this amazing.

I am working myself in a 2 star restaurant in Zurich and I obviously know this restaurant, a few people went there and were not so happy for the amount you pay, but other than that, it’s excellent.
Btw: you should never have an empty glass, it’s not acceptable at this level

[zarniwooop]

This is EXACTLY the channel I've been trying to find for years. Please don't ever stop doing this.

[andrewwolverton]

As someone who cannot afford such gastronomic extravagance, I thoroughly enjoy the chance to experience such restaurants, even if it is second hand. Thanks!

The culinary world needs more of this style of critique. The overview spans the environment, service, personality and food and is distilled through a lens that compares the experience to the expectation that the organisation has advertised. The critique has more weight coming from someone that has walked that mile with their establishment and is aware of the challenges. The bullet points are not personal and are focused on the product and service on the table. If I were Geranium, I would find this fair and reasonable, with enough construction on where they could focus to make the final delivery that tad more cohesive.

Respect to you, Alexander, for this honest and comprehensive review, especially because you did not spare to mention the shortcomings of the service! Few people would have the courage to do that.
I wish you success in your restaurant too! Greetings from Bulgaria!

[losskywalker]

I don't understand this kind of perfect video with such quality is not attracting more audience. I am more than happy and proud to be one of the earlier finders and supporters of this channel. Simply amazing!

[devynkumar]

Love how respectful he is in his criticism, yup 20 mins for coffee is off but there are off days and it can happen. It shouldn't but it can

[AzulaFarum]

I'm glad YouTube recommended this video to me. It's so beautifully produced! Though the restaurant reminds me of that common thought of $1, 000 one-bite meals.

[timnordstrom]

I never knew I would be so interested in learning about fine dining like this. And I certainly wasn't expecting this level of polish based on the size of this channel. Criminally underrated, as the other comments have said.

[Thomas-xlsp]

I enjoyed watching this tremendously. There is something very classy about watching someone have high expectations - and still being in awe of what was served.

[odyssey]

Incredibly formatted, edited, and especially well commentated video for such a small blooming channel, I wish you best of luck in the near future. Truly can see a bright future for content produced like this, will be watching your other videos without a doubt.

[nybotheveg]

Not sure about fine dining, but in Denmark sitting at the table with empty plates and glasses still at the table is somewhat common, since you don't feel rushed out.

[rasmuss.jrgensen]

Awesome production quality for someone with 300 subs. You just earned a new one! Keep it up <3

[deadnicedave]

Just discovered this channel, wow! What fantastic delivery, editing and commentary, absolutely amazing content, thanks so much for sharing these with us.

[Rishabh-Dev-N]

This is good enough to telecast on television. Superb video quality, its sharp and clean.👍 Kudos to the team. I hope you find great success.

In the last couple of years, street food channels got pretty big but I always wanted to see the other side of it too which is expensive restaurants that average person can't go. Seems like that's what you guys are doing. The best part is since he's not sponsored by these restaurants(I mean, not that these restaurants need any sort of advertisement :D) he could give his honest review. Good luck! Btw, at some point, I'd like to see you show us your own restaurant too :)
